Nathan frowned, and there was a fierce stare in his eyes. He glared at Grace and was very upset with what Grace had said to him, and she even showed no signs of apology nor giving in.
Queenie also cried out worriedly in a low voice. "He's a patient, Grace."
"I know," said Grace lightly while looking at Chief Stone. "If a person relies on his illness and his misfortune to be doted on by everyone, I think it's really unfair. It's unfair to the people around him. There's a limit for everything in this world, including empathy."
"Heinz is a good man and he has done his best for the two elders of the Lawson family. Tell me, is there another man who can do this? Try putting yourself in his shoes. Can you two and Chief Stone do this?" None of them spoke; apparently, they were shocked by her words.
Nathan was also stunned, as if he had been hit. At that moment, Heinz arrived at the door. When he arrived, he happened to hear what she had said.
He stood at the door at once and was very surprised. The bodyguard lowered his voice and said, "President, don't rush in. Miss Smith can do it. I think she has the upper hand.” However, Heinz had an unspeakable feeling in his heart.
Because she was defending him, the guilt and sadness in his heart were overflowing. After finding out the truth, she still stood by his side. What the hell was going on?
Inside the room.
Grace faced Chief Stone. Her words were directed to her, and also to Nathan and Pearly. Seeing that they did not speak, Grace said again, "Excessive love will eventually turn into hatred. If you demand limitless empathy, it will not end well."
"Who are you to teach me a lesson?" Nathan was upset and angered. He stared at Grace angrily.
Grace, in contrast, was not mad. She just stared at him and said with a smile, "Yes I am not qualified to say anything to you. I just feel sorry for Heinz. After he came home last night, he was very tired, and I could see that he was really keeping all of it in. The more demanding you are, the more exhausted Heinz is. You are justifying your actions by bringing up his past relationship with Jodie."
"Do you want him to feel drained and have no more feelings for your daughter in this life? Do you want it to end this way?" she continued. Nathan opened his mouth to speak. Perhaps Grace's words were too direct, he swallowed his words in discomfort.
Grace did not give him a chance to speak and said calmly, "I know what I said is not very pleasant to the ear, but I think, at least for now, and perhaps for the rest of my life, your daughter has had and will always have a place in Heinz's heart. I do not mind his past, because it is his past and I can't ever be a part of that.
I do not have the right to make any requests too. However, I can also feel his respect, care, and support for you due to his sense of responsibility.
This does not mean that you can treat him so poorly again and again though. Mr. Lawson, I think you should know where to draw the line. It would be easier if you take a step back after venting your emotions."
